Q

Describe treatment for limb presentation delivery.

A

Place mother in left lateral recumbent and keep exposed parts moist with normal saline dressings. Do not pull on body parts. Transport immediately with mother on high flow O2. Do not deliver in the field.

Q

Describe the treatment for prolapsed cord.

A

Do not push the cord back in. Administer high flow O2 and begin rapid transport. Using a gloved hand, push the baby’s head away from the cervix and keep pressure off the cord (maintain a pulsatile cord). This may be helped with the mother in knee to chest position. Keep exposed cord moist with normal saline.

Q

In the event the barbed end of a taser dart remains in a puncture site, what would be your next course of action?

A

Make sure the cartridge has been disconnected and the taser is not applying charge.
Cut the wire 6-8 inches from each dart.
Wearing latex gloves, firmly grasp the dart probe between the thumb and index finger of one hand. Use other hand to stabilize skin surrounding the probe site.
Remove the dart with a hard jerk.
Examine the barb tip to ensure that it is fully intact.

A

Dependent lividity - venous pooling of blood in gravity dependent areas occurring 1-2 hours after death, peaking at 6 hours
Rigor Mortis
Gross decomposition
Dead mouth
